I am no historian but this film is quite enjoyable. I think the story of Mao is a mixed bag. First, I just like to say that the people who think Mao killed millions of people and is on par with Hitler are seriously misinformed. I would for their sake advice not show off such a view to informed friends because they make fools out of themselves. Its like saying George W Bush is like Mussolini. Mao certainly had many personal flaws and made mistakes in leading a new nation. But on a personal level he was a charismatic leader and inspired a passionate following. In this aspect you can compare him to a Hitler but also to FDR or JFK or Jesus. I think the film points out that Mao is not some cunning evil mastermind slaughtering people for pure pleasure. Mao largely wanted to improve the country. I think personal attacks on Mao because of the political upheaval and the challenges of a new nation had to face is ridiculous. Though this movie have a bit of Pro-Mao bias I think it should be viewed as a counter weight to the overwhelming negative bias in the media today.
